An emergency has been declared at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in southeastern Washington after a portion of a tunnel that contained rail cars full of nuclear waste collapsed.
quote:
Workers at the site of the tunnel collapse Tuesday morning were evacuated. No workers were in the tunnel. Workers farther away were told to remain indoors.
quote:
Randy Bradbury, a spokesman for the Washington state Department of Ecology, said there apparently has been no release of radiation and no workers were injured.
quote:
Hanford for decades made plutonium for nuclear weapons, and now is engaged in cleaning up the nation's largest volume of radioactive defense wastes.

I think you can get tours of Hanford if you really want. However, I don't know if I'd want to be anywhere near that toxic wasteland.

From wiki, the ones in the UK:
weighs more than 50 tonnes, and transports usually not more than 2.5 tonnes of spent nuclear fuel
